Interdisciplinary event on occupation, environment and cancer

To prevent cancer and implement meaningful measures of exposure reduction, it is crucial to understand the causes of cancer. Cause-specific analyses of cancer risk have been conducted at the Cancer Registry of Norway in various environmental and occupational settings since the 1970s in collaboration with national and international partners. Despite the fact that today's working environments are generally safer than 50 years ago, research on how low-level occupational exposures affect cancer risk is still important, as exposure levels in many workplaces approach those in ambient air - relevant to the general population. The upcoming event will address these issues by presenting ongoing state-of-the research from national and international experts.
